FULL STORY ======================================================================A Galaxy Unpacked teaser says "a true AI companion" is coming The video shows an AI assistant being given complex instructions This is likely to be an upgrade to Bixby, which could come to the Galaxy S25 and other Samsung phones We were always expecting the Samsung Galaxy S25 series to feature new and improved AI features, and now Samsung itself has hinted that we could see some major AI upgrades. In the companys latest teaser for Galaxy Unpacked the January 22 event at which the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will almost certainly be unveiled Samsung has teased the arrival of a true AI companion. The company uses those exact words in a brief video in which we see someone ask an AI assistant to find them a pet-friendly Italian restaurant with outdoor seating. They ask for all that in a single request, and also ask for the information to be added to their calendar and sent to someone else. This sort of request is well beyond what Bixby, Samsungs digital assistant, is capable of currently. Or at least that's the case outside China Bixby has already had a ChatGPT-like overhaul in China , and this teaser suggests the same upgrade will be going global soon. Samsung says its currently China-only Bixby upgrade can understand "complex user instructions" that combine multiple commands in a single sentence, which is exactly what we see in this teaser video. It also has on-screen awareness, so you can ask it about things on your phones display, and it has a more modern interface than the Bixby were used to.

View Deal An AI upgrade for phones new and old So with the global launch of this Bixby upgrade presumably being announced at Galaxy Unpacked, it may well be available on the Samsung Galaxy S25 out of the box and since this is already available in China we know it doesnt require the power of the Galaxy S25, so we might well see this come to some existing Samsung handsets too. That said, wed expect some of the very best new AI features to be reserved for the Galaxy S25 series, either because they require the power of its new chipset, or just as a selling point. Its also very possible that Bixby itself will run faster on the upcoming phones. Well find out soon, and TechRadar will be in attendance at the Samsung Galaxy S25 launch, so stay tuned for that.
